JULY 2005

My name is Frank Ramsey and I have lived here in Kayenta for over five years now. When my family and I moved here I, like many others who pass through, saw only how many animals there were. Through first hand experience I quickly realized how much of a nui-sance they can be. In the last few years my life has had a lot of change in it and I have a new appreciation of how precious life is. As a result of such personal changes I could no longer stand aside anymore while the growing epidemic of stray animals con-tinued to be swept under the rug. It’s a situation that has placed Kayenta and other communi-ties throughout the reservation in a predicament unresolved to this day. Our growing stray and abandoned animal population in addition to the countless roaming pets has placed great strains

on the safety of the respected residents along with the animals themselves. At first I only wanted to start a shelter. Quickly I real-ized how futile this effort would be without formal local animal control. Thanks to the adminis-tration of the Kayenta Township, a program commenced in August of 2004, and has grown into what will be the Kayenta Animal Con-trol & Shelter (KACS). It will be the first type of municipal or-ganization of animal control once a few pending “red tape” issues are ironed through. Trying to make a start of such an entity or any business on the Navajo Na-tion for that matter isn’t an easy task. The last ten months have been a good start in the right direction in terms of establishing a solid track record in supporting our efforts.

With the assistance of reservation and non-reservation agencies KACS has move over 350 animals toward funding suit-able homes in locations beyond the Navajo Nation borders. As indicated in last months issue spay, neuter, and vaccination clinics have successfully oper-ated. With the communities support KACS vows to put an end to animals being carelessly dumped and create a pet popula-tion in Kayenta that is healthy and safe for our families. KACS will be able to provide such ser-vices once a permanent building is implemented so that screening and adoption services can take place on a more consistent basis. This task is a community effort as we each play impor-tant roles in educating ourselves about the proper methods in caring for animals. The KACS places great emphasis on this useful tool as our goal is to ren-der such educational material for the enhancement of Kayenta’s residents. We need this

education in our community, a topic that wasn’t so prevalent within the lives of our elders. To own a “pet” differs from that of having sheep dogs or livestock. The tables have turned a bit and we now live in a society where it is not an uncommon occurrence where our children entertain the idea of having a pet in the house. Having a close pet also requires the need to discipline them in in-stances where they may be expe-riencing difficulties. There is much that can be learned from our elders about how precious life is and the bal-ance that must be maintained within nature. There will always be those who do not care or may not understand why someone would care about another stray animal. It is this mentality that we must turn around, so when it comes to your pet that may need to be restrained please be coop-erative, such instances will occur for the benefit of the owner, pet and community. ______________

Kayenta is the gateway to scenic Monument Valley and is home to a proud community. The Kayenta Market Study is a design by South-west Planning and Marketing out of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The plan as-sesses the needs of the community as well as attracting tourist to promote a positive growth in population while creating a unique atmosphere of a traditional neighborhood. The study enhances the idea of Kayenta being a destination spot by creating a resort, a visitor’s plaza with artisan studios and a ‘main street’. The goal is to stimulate a community attachment in the unique architecture of future constructions to the Kayenta area. The plan sug-gests redevelopment to current resi-dential areas, especially the housing area known as “The Hill”, and also would like to keep the residential area away from future expansion of businesses, and health related

facilities close to the new hospital. Other proposed improvements are to introduce a new water tank, sewer line, drainage improvements, and the development of roads. Results of the Kayenta community survey that was distrib-uted last month were analyzed by Southwest Planning & Marketing. A library, the creation of more jobs, better police protection, community beautifi cation and clean-up, animal control, and the reduction of blowing dust were listed as the most impor-tant. A total of 177 people completed the survey living within and outside the Township, other chapters, and a few off the Navajo Nation. The Kayenta Township is en-visioning an area of culture, econo-my, success, and pride; with South-west Planning and RME Santa Fe Engineering being the team members that are going to help pave the way.

In the midst of waste, rub-bish, and junk, a shining white image of a conqueror to battle such garbage has arrived to Kayenta. The new Super Duty Front Loader trash truck is a recent purchase made by the Kayenta Township and Transfer Sta-tion to pick up local trash bins. Local businesses requested that the transfer station acquire a vehicle unit to transfer the large bins of trash instead of an outside busi-ness. The trash truck was a purchase/ no purchase decision, which meant the decision would go either way. As the transfer station became a busi-ness, the clientel ratio dropped and there was marginal or no profi t being made. Continued on Pg. 6

The White Pony of K-TownBy Dana Leno

What are the things that make Kayenta beautiful? Is it the-Navajo Culture, the formation of rocks known as “The Toes?”

While maintaining the feelings of a small town, the residents of Kayenta who live here value their community’s progress year-round. Despite its beauty and progress Kayenta has been faced with a natural exfoli-ate that drives the community in an uproar, the predictable “dust storm” season. There is not one person who has not been afflict-ed with this problem of homes nearly buried under sand dunes, low-visibility when driving, dan-gerous crosswinds at the airport, and the occasional mini sand dune in one’s ear. But that isn’t the talk around town anymore. Have you heard of the Reseeding Project, a multi-agency commu-nity effort developed to tackle the task of minimizing the blow-ing sand?

The Kayenta Reseeding Project is an initiative that took years to implement and after much deliberation it has finally been accomplished. In partner-ship with the Kayenta Chap-ter, ADOT, Navajo Agriculture Products Industry (NAPI), and a core planning team, the Kayenta Township Commission played a vital role in bringing key play-ers to the table in discussing a community concern, “to do something about the severe blow-ing sand. One of the reasons for reseeding the designated areas around Kayenta was to reclaim and reinvigorate a beautiful area of the community. The total reseeding area is 1,624 acres located at the South and West ends of Kayenta along Highway 160/ Highway 163. This area will be fenced along the perimeter to control livestock from roaming freely. Some areas that are being used for the Re-seeding Project were outside the Kayenta Township jurisdiction, and Consent to access these lands required approval by the Kayenta Chapter and land owners (graz-ing permit holders). The Kayenta Township Commission and Kayenta Chap-ter would like to publicly thank the individuals and their fami-lies who allowed the Reseeding Project Team access to their land, allowing the introduction of na-tive and non-native plant spe-cies to be rooted. There are 19 land owners that gave permission to the Reseeding Project Team. The objective of the project is to reduce the potential of severe dust storms and sand erosion, to support preventive measures to maintain a controlled area where the grazing of livestock will not be permitted for three (3) years. Continued on next page.

Reseeding Project continued.

Keeping the area free of livestock will ensure excellent growth and increase longevity of plants. All of those involved including land use owners and community members re-spect the development of this project, and the fencing will have no negative impact to their property. Once the project is deemed successful the land use owners will resume responsibility. The Kayenta vegetation plat-form supports a variety of vegetation such as, juniper, broom snakeweed, rabbitbrush, four-winged saltbrush, narrowleaf yucca, Russian thistle, dessert trumpet, fi laree, and other sparse grasses and forbs. During the planting process a rubber-tire, rangeland drill ## will be the muscles ## which will disperse seeds in 100 ft. intervals and 1 inch below the surface. The following selected plant species will be seeded: Alkali saca-ton, crested wheatgrass, Indian rice grass, wild rye, and four-winged saltbrush. During mid-June, many of you noticed large green tractors pre-paring the soil and planting the seeds in late June. Perhaps, many of you may have wondered why the planting was behind schedule, but this is how the plan was conceived by technical experts from NAPI. The main source of water and moisture to support the

seedlings begins at the start of the summer monsoon season which usu-ally occurs in July and August. Soon after the rains come an application of mulch will be layered to retain moisture. Funds for the project come from U.S. Geological Survey, bonds to fi nance the Kayenta Capital Im-provement Plan, and the Kayenta sales tax, reaching an approximate total of 2.6 million dollars to fund the Kayenta Re-seeding project. Another key aspect of the project is commu-nity education on how to maintain the grounds and to employ addi-tional gardening and farming tech-niques. Livestock restrictions will be monitored and enforced by Kayenta Chapter Grazing Offi cer, BIA, and the Natural Conservation District.

For the Science Lovers:What in the world is an Arizona Monsoon?

The Arizona monsoon is the term when referring to the extreme weath-er changes in the southwestern part of the United States, notably refer-ring to the Arizona area. ##Arizona has a number of sources of moisture; the winter and spring front from the North Pacifi c Ocean carries moisture at high atmospheric levels, precipita-tion is orographic (increases with ele vation), and the frequency, moisture, and strength content are affected by

atmospheric circulation patterns of tropical and North Pacifi c Oceans. The mix of moist air comes from the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Califor-nia, and eastern Pacifi c Ocean. This creates a rise in the moisture level across the desert and elevations less than 7,000 ft. above sea level have high intensity rainfall and elevations over 7,000 ft. above sea level have a low intensity of rainfall.

Are Kayenta winds like those at the Sahara Desert?Arizona shows the same wind pat-terns that arise in the deserts of the Sahara. In the Kayenta area, if looked from afar it appears to be a sand dome during a dust storm which can reach speeds between 30-50 mph and heights of 3000 ft. This type of storm is called a Haboob, com-ing from an Arabic word meaning “wind” or “phenomena”, and are generated by thunderclouds while in their fi nal phase. Another wind pat-tern that it is similar with are Down-drafts, in which air descends to the ground picking up sand to create

a circulation of dust. There are two different types of downdrafts, a ‘dry’ downdraft is during the ‘dry’ season of the monsoon and a wet down-draft is during the moist portion of the monsoon. Similar wind patterns are also observed in the Mid-East, although they seem more prominent due to an enormous land mass of sand.

Above: “Take a breather!” The green giant take a break after long hours plowing through the fi elds.

Fries, anyone? The imme-diate retreat for most of Kayen-ta’s community will head for ei-ther McDonald’s or Burger King. Interestingly enough, nestled in between the two mega-giant burger industries is an architctur-ally stimulating building. What was initially designed to be oc-cupied by vendors in addition to serving as a Visitor’s Center, the building’s potential has had little success in attracing consistent business. Various vendors have come and gone with the ques-tion continuing to linger among Kayenta’s residents as to what will ever become of the large structure. With a little sweat and hard work, Ron Watch has taken it upon himself to revamp the premise in order to serve Kayen-ta and the traveling tourists with a Visitor’s Center. Such plans have already been implemented

Trash Truck continued.

The trash collected from the transfer station is then shipped to a certifi ed land fi ll at Monticello, Utah. The cost of taking the trash to the fi ll was usually paid for by the collec-tion that was gathered during routine service pick-ups in Kayenta. This is the reason why the transfer station suffered little or no profi t.

KAYENTA TODAYPage 6

with the hopes of utilizing the space available to offer the com-munity with opportunities to thrive. “I basically see this Visi-tors’ Center as an opportunity to contribute to Kayenta’s econ-omy and a nice touch for the many foreign travelers passing through,” stated Watch. These intentions can be seen as the main office facili-tates the passer-by with count-less material on Kayenta and its surrounding locations to visit. Vendors are especially welcomed to offer their hand-made products to anyone interested in taking a piece of beauty home. “There are international tourists that come through Kay-enta on a daily basis. They’ve often traveled for many miles to experience the Navajo Nation’s natural beauty,” concluded Watch.

Above: The doors continually remain open during this summer’s heavy tourist season. Many improvements to the Visitors’ Center are attracting inquisitive travelers each week.

V I S I T O R ’ s C E N T E R R E V I V E D !

The current charge for trash pick up is based on a rate schedule and ideas of deciding to put bins up in areas is to reduce littering. Since the transfer station is now able to service businesses and large bins, an increase in profi t and development is very probable. It will also allow enhanced options such as recycling, rate charges, and an orga-nized community to materialize.

“Building a Nation from the Grassroots Up”

Kayenta Township and AZ Departmentof Commerce

Location: Kayenta Town Hall

Dates: July 26-28, 2005

The surrounding commu-nities of Chilchinbeto, Dennehot-so, Inscription House, Kayenta, Oljato, Mexican Water, Mexican Heat, Black Mesa, Navajo Moun-tain, and Shonto are served by the Kayenta District Police De-partment. Approximately 19,500 people depend on the quick and reliable service out of the KPD. But as much as we would like to reduce crime, to see improve-ments in a responsive fashion, and law enforcement services centrally located, a much needed,more secured brand new build-ing is required. Currently there are plans to replace the current double-wide trailer, and the Kayenta

District Prosecutor’s Office that recently burned down. Included in the plans are: detention cen-ter, and administration. Sloan & Associates are the architectural consultants for the project and are reviewing information for the new facility. The new public safety building will be construct-ed west of the current facility. To ensure that the Kayenta Public Safety meets federal regu-lations, the jail will be designed to accommodate specific inmate ratio requirements of female to male and juvenile to adults. Adequate square footage will be considered to adhere to safety standards, and open areas will be restricted. The proposal to

construct a new facility includes the current operation budget with the current staff. Understandably, additional funds will be required to adequately staff the new facil-ity. The Navajo Nation Coun-cil appropriated $750,000; and the Kayenta Township will match with $750,000 to bring a total of $1.5 million available to plan-ning, design, architectural

planning. The Township antici-pates breaking ground within a few months. A progressive town, a progressive people, Kayenta strives for a safer and healthier community.

This year’s Just Move It Series was a huge success as par-ticipants spanded across the Navajo Nation. The goal of the program remains the same, to educate and promote healthy living habits. Kay-enta IHS Health Promotions Coordi-nator, Donna Leno, expressed great excitement as Kayenta was one of eight locations to host the highly

anticipated event. The evening’s line-up included a Fun Walk, Fun Run, and a special Wellness on Wheels venture. Bikes were also welcome to the event. “This is a great opportunity in promoting physical activity, it’s a great program that gets people excit-ed throughout the various Chapters,” said Leno.
